An excellent article about what this culture considers art. I earned an MFA a few years back and spent a lot of time with the "literary crowd." I love both literary and genre writing, but I think most academics who favor literary writing do so because it is esoteric. I honestly don't think many of them actual "enjoy" these works; they just delve into them because they are not popular, and they, therefore, make the academic feel smart.
